📋 About This Mod
Enables the ability to select body art by overhauling the Draconic Bloodline selector whenever the Body Tattoos passive is selected. A framework so that players can swap through TattooAtlas options provided by whatever atlas is assigned to the body.
Rogue Tattoo will support the following vanilla Baldur’s Gate 3 races by default:
What is a Tattoo Atlas?
In simple terms, it is a collection of visuals converted into a single DDS file. In this case, they hold all of the tattoo designs that are designed to be compatible with the body they are assigned to. They’re used so that the player can switch between them or a developer can switch between them to set them to the character preset. This is how Larian allows the NPC to have tattoos or body markings. The Gith have it enabled, which is how they have the spots on their body. Their face doesn't do this, so that's why you can use face tattoos with the Gith, but the body tattoo version overwrites their speckled body marks, sadly.
1✦ Make sure Body Tattoos is enabled. The Default Appearance will remove this overhaul list from the Draconic Bloodline list.
2✦ Select Sorcerer and then select Draconic Bloodline subclass.
3✦ Go to Draconic Bloodline selector in Edit Character and select whatever tattoo you want. There is a no Tattoo option for those who don’t want a body tattoo.

[]This overhauls the Scales option and will remove the scales unless you select Default Appearance.
[
] I’m making a small mod that adds Draconic Scales as scars so you can still select them if you wish to be a Draconic Bloodline Sorc and have the Body Tattoos.4✦ After you’ve selected your body tattoo, you can now play as any other Class or Subclass; the body tattoo will remain so long as you don’t select default appearance.
- If you wish to change the body tattoo later after playing, you will likely need to Respec into a Draconic Sorc before you can change the tattoo again.
Vanilla TattooAtlas
Regarding the following tattoos situation/condition:
Body Tattoo 6 is just Gale's marking on his chest, so you won’t see it without clothes that reveal the chest area or if you're run

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing (373 endorsements) and a healthy download count (16,780) show it's a trusted framework.
- Taps into an underused mechanic (Draconic Bloodline) to give you more cosmetic options without bloating the UI.
- Lightweight approach—no need for extra menus; it just repurposes an existing selector.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2025—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
- Only works when you pick the Body Tattoos passive—if you don't use that, this mod does nothing for you.
For character creators who want more visual flair without adding heavy UI mods. If you're into roleplaying a rogue with distinctive ink, this is your jam. Skip if you rarely touch the Body Tattoos passive or prefer gameplay over cosmetics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you actually select the Body Tattoos passive in-game to see the new options.
- Since the mod overhauls the Draconic Bloodline selector, test it on a new character to avoid conflicts with existing saves.
- If the mod doesn't show up, verify your game version matches the mod's last update (April 2025).
